General Grant on the Terms at
Vicksburg.

In the Century is printed for the
first time letter by General Grant on
the above topic, from which the follow
ing is an extract: General Pember-
ton, being Northern man command
ing Southern army, was not at the
same liberty to surrender an army that
adversely or defeat he became an OBJ
ject of suspicion, and felt it. Bowen
was Southern man all over, and knew
the garrison at Vicksburg had to sur
render or be captured, and knew it was
best to stop further effusion of blood
by surrendering. He did all he could
to bring about that result.
Pemberton is mistaken in several
points. It was Bowen that proposed
that he and A. J. Smith should talk
over the matter of the surrender and
submit their views. Neither Pember-
ton nor [ objected; but we were not
willing to commit ourselves to accept
ing such terms as they might propose.
In a short time those officers returned.
Bowen acted as spokesman. What he
said was substantially this: The Con-
federate army was to be permitted to
march out with the honors of war,
carrying with them their arms,
colors, and field batteries. The
national troops were then to
march in and occupy the city, and re-
tain the siege guns, small arms not in
the hands of the men, all public prop
erty remaining OF course 1 rejected
the terms at once. I did agree, how
ever, before we separated, to write
Pemberton what terms I would give.
The correspondence is public and
speaks for itself. held no council of
war. Hostilities having ceased, officers
and men soon became acquainted with
the reason why. Curiosity led officers
OF rank-most all the general officers
to visit nv headquarters with the hope
of getting some news. I talked with
them very freely about the meeting be-
tween General Pemberton and myself,
our correspondence, etc. But in no
sense was it council of war. I was
very glad to give the garrison OF Vicks-
burg the terms I did. There was a
cartel in existence at that time which
required either party to exchange or
parole all prisoners either at VicksDurg
or at . point on the James River within
ten days after captures, or as soon
thereafter as practicable. This would
have used all the transportation we had
for month. The men had behaved an
we'll that did not want to humiliate
them. L believed that consideration
ior their feelings would make them less
dangerous foes during the continuance
OF hostllltles, and better citizens after
Inc war was over. U. S. GRANT.

s1Rrm AND DEATHS,

We have law which requires Coun-
ty Recorders to keep record OF mar
rages solemnized in their respective
counties, and the record 80 kept shall
be open to the inspection of the public.
This law is good one, and should be
supplemented by another Act. or an
amendment to the present one, requir-
ing Recorders to keep, in book pre-
pared for the purpose, record of all
births and deaths occurring in their re-
spective counties, which service should.
be made part of their duties as Re-
corders, and for which q suitable fee
should be allowed and made payable
from the general county fund.
In order that: the provisions Of such
an Act be enforced it should require
each physician or midwife officiating at
a birth to forward to the Recorder q
certificate setting forth the date of birth,
the name of parents, and the sex of the
child; and each undertaken officiating
at funeral to forward to the Recorder
certificate setting forth the name, age
and nativity of the deceased, when the
same can be ascertai1ed, (but when
either of the above facts are unkn own,
the certificate should 80 stated and the
date of death. The penalty for viola
ton of any of the provisions of this
Act should be the same as is provided
in reference to the recording of mar
riages.
We believe that q measure of this
character would prove great benefit
to the people, and it would certainly
prove valuable addition to the coun-
ty records. We trust TINT some one
who is skilled in the intricacies of draft
ing bills for Legislative enactment will
take hold of this matter at cnce, and
that 1t will receive early and favorable
consideration at the hands of our Legis-
lators.
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1887-01-13

After action on that measure the bill TO
prohibit members Of Congress to, act. as
attorneys for railroads will be taken up:
Probably revenue matters will, be con-
siderered, and the Naval Resignation
bill and the bill to create Department
of Agriculture and Labor will receive
early attention.
Nevada is only too anxious to.get all
of Idaho she can, while the annexation
lists in the North shy that there is not
enough bottom in the Territory to.ever
make her State. It does seem sIneu-
lar why those Silurians in the North
who are not satisfied with the probable
future of the "Gem of the Mountains
do not leave it at once and. go over into
IN adjoining Territory where the people
think they can't prosper without steul-
ing something.-Wood River News.
In the reported. proceedings of the
Legislature we find discrepancy in
reference to action on Harris Concur
rent Resolution on the Utter State Com
merce bill. The Virginia Chronicle
says it was referred to the committee on
Corporations and Railroads., giving the
vote, while the Enterprise reports that
Pixies substitute, that the committee
report resolution back without recon-
incubation, was adopted. Both reports
are printed elsewhere but we are ut n
loss to know which is correct.

porations and Railroads by the follow
